A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought
gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of The Fireman,
Joe Hill.

"One of America’s finest horror writers"
(Time magazine), Joe Hill has been hailed among
legendary talents such as Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, and
Jonathan Lethem. In Strange Weather, this
"compelling chronicler of human nature’s continual war
between good and evil," (Providence
Journal-Bulletin) who "pushes genre conventions to new
extremes" (New York Times Book Review) deftly
expose the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of
everyday life.

"Snapshot" is the disturbing story of a
Silicon Valley adolescent who finds himself threatened by
"The Phoenician," a tattooed thug who possesses a Polaroid
Instant Camera that erases memories, snap by snap.

A
young man takes to the skies to experience his first
parachute jump. . . and winds up a castaway on an impossibly
solid cloud, a Prospero’s island of roiling vapor that seems
animated by a mind of its own in "Aloft."

On a
seemingly ordinary day in Boulder, Colorado, the clouds open
up in a downpour of nails—splinters of bright crystal that
shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover. "Rain"
explores this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of
nails spreads out across the country and around the
world.

In "Loaded," a mall security guard in a coastal
Florida town courageously stops a mass shooting and becomes
a hero to the modern gun rights movement. But under the
glare of the spotlights, his story begins to unravel, taking
his sanity with it. When an out-of-control summer blaze
approaches the town, he will reach for the gun again and
embark on one last day of reckoning.

Masterfully
exploring classic literary themes through the prism of the
supernatural, Strange Weather is a stellar
collection from an artist who is "quite simply the best
horror writer of our generation" (Michael Kortya).
